井底之蛙 frog in a well

井 (well) 底 (under) 之 ('s) 蛙 (frog)

How small is your world view?

Once upon a time, there lived a little frog who was extremely proud of his little world. As far as he was concerned, there was nothing bigger than his little kingdom. He refused to acknowledge there was a whole wide world outside of his little well. (Or the World Wide Web, for that matter.)

That's actually very sweet.

Well, unfortunately, there IS a big world out there.

In fact, we are all frogs in a little well called Earth, you see.
Shall we ask the bigger frogs on, say, the planet Gliese 581 c?
